Giants Sign Tight End/Fulback Jakob Johnson

The New York Giants have signed Jakob Johnson, a versatile tight end/fullback, as they navigate injuries in their tight end roster. Johnson, who previously played for the Las Vegas Raiders and the New England Patriots, brings significant experience and familiarity with offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 255 pounds, Johnson is primarily known for his blocking abilities, having played in 67 games over five seasons and recorded 19 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown. His signing comes as the team deals with injuries to key players, including Lawrence Cager and Tyree Jackson. While Johnson's role is uncertain, his past performances and experience could work in his favor as he competes for a spot on the roster. The Giants are also preparing for an upcoming game, and Johnson's quick adaptation is crucial during this transitional period.
